About this study

Official title: Prospective Study on Hemostasis Alterations in Patients Undergoing Neuro Surgical Glioma Resection Acronym: (ABCD Study: Acute Brain Coagulopathy Development Study)

Prospective, observational study aimed to investigate the specific hemostatic alterations in patients undergoing glial tumor resection.

Read the detailed description

Brain parenchyma express tissue factor and other coagulation factors in high concentrations. In addition, neuro critical patients (NCP) may present platelet dysfunction, hyperfibrinolysis, hypo coagulation and / or hyper coagulation status, early after the injury. It is not known whether these alterations of hemostasis are due to a specific brain response to aggression, or they are included into a systemic response. This prospective, observational study is aimed to investigate the coagulation disorders specifically associated with cerebral aggression.

This is a prospective, cohort study including (calculated sample size) a study group of patients undergoing elective surgery (glial tumors) and other one undergoing colo rectal surgery. Alterations of the hemostasis will be evaluated by clotting tests, thromboelastometry and tests for platelet function. Samples will be drawn before and after surgical procedures. Multiple statistical comparisons intra and inter groups will be performed.

Being tested
Exposure to glioma resection surgery, Exposure to colon resection surgery
Keywords
bleeding, clotting tests, neurosurgery, clotting time, maximum clot firmness, kinetics, lysis, primary hemostasis, platelet dysfunction, coagulation
Medical subject headings
Glioma, Hemostatic Disorders, Hemorrhage, Thrombosis

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of INR: International Normalized Ratio (time frame: From 24-hour before surgery (baseline) at 48-hour after surgery). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02652897, which also lists 2 linked publications.
